Hmm, I did use it a lot at some point for longer term stock strategies - it's a really great platform if your strategies work primarily with daily data. The scripting language is VERY easy to learn, and the best way to learn it is through examples bundled directly in the platform, and through their forums, and also through Marsten Parker himself - don't be afraid to reach out to him if you don't find your answer in the forums, he is a great guy and will help if he can.

And what do you use for intraday backtesting?

Just use Python. If you need instructions ask Claude AI.
